One of the things I have tried to do on each side of the office is display photos and items from that side's history. On the 113 side that means 1897-1928 as the Hub Shoe Store and on the 111 side the shoe store's 1928-2001 incarnation. I put blowups of the photos we have on a wall at the front of each side, along with whatever memorabilia can be hung on the wall (antique shoe sizers, signs, framed ads, etc.) 
We got a big find Saturday when another search at the Jefferson antique store which bought the store's contents in 2009 yielded what I believe is the store's original cash drawer (now hanging on the 111 side's wall at upper right). The drawer, which was located back in Mr. Kariel's office on the 111 side when it was removed in 2009, predates the 1928 location of the store.
It is what is known as a Tucker Alarm Till, Model No. 1, and was manufactured by Tucker & Dorsey Mfg. Co. in Indianapolis sometime after 1875 and as best I can tell before 1918 - probably between 1885 and 1905, although that's just a guess. The drawer would have originally been part of a box (like the one shown here) 
the upper board of which would have been (and was) screwed to the underside of a counter. The mechanism inside rings the bell whenever the drawer is pulled out (and let me tell you - with a metal ceiling it is loud in here - was a little creepy the first time I tested it in the office today and realized it spent three decades ringing almost daily in the same space). 
But here's the cool part - the underside of the drawer have five wires attached to tips that are ergonomically 
shaped to accommodate fingertips, and I found out why online. If you pull the right one (or combination of ones) it disables the alarm, so that the till can be pulled out silently by the shopkeeper.
I can't locate enough information on the Tucker alarm tills or the Tuck & Dorsey firm to precisely date it, but given the finish and the appropximate age, I think it is highly likely it was in use on the 1897 side before the store moved next door, so that's where it is currently being displayed.
Eventually I may put the drawer under a glass-topped table with some period bills and coins, but for the moment
